Eligibility Checks and Securing Authorizations
We verify each patient’s dental insurance coverage and obtain authorizations, when necessary, prior to surgery. This prevents surprise claim denials downstream so you get paid promptly.
Claim Preparation, Submission, and Follow Up
We flawlessly complete CMS/ADA claim forms electronically, append necessary documentation, and submit to payers to facilitate faster processing. We follow up rigorously to resolve any issues with pending, denied, or underpaid claims.
Denial Analysis and Appeals
Using robust analytics on historical claims, we identify denial triggers and patterns. We appeal improper rejections, gather dental records to support your perspective, and communicate effectively with insurers to reverse erroneous denials.
Outreach for Patient Payments
We collect applicable copays, deductibles, and other patient responsibility amounts through statements, phone calls, and customized payment plans – improving cash flow while retaining goodwill.
Guidance on Complex Payer Policies
Billing rules, covered codes, needed authorizations, and acceptable fee ranges change constantly. We stay updated on policies across all major dental payers to ensure optimal OMS reimbursement.
